Power Companies, who do you prefer
Filed Under Electricity, Gas, Utilities | 3 Comments
One of the crappy parts about moving into a new place or overseas is that you have to set up power and gas, and Victoria is no different. The cool thing about Victoria is that its a very competitive environment, the power/gas companies really have to fight for your dollar.
Tell us who you prefer, and we will start some kind of rating system to make it easier for newbies to connect, give some pros and cons if you have come across them. BOOYA

Melbourne Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurants!
Filed Under Food, Melbourne | 2 Comments
* Indians (Red, Green Curry) in front of the Spleen Bar, at the end of Burke street have a great selection of Vegetarian Food.
* Next to the Hawthorn station there is a (good but really expensive) pizza place.
*Vege2Go, Lygon Street, Brunswick.
*Moroccan Soup Bar - St Georges rd, Fitzroy North
*Soul Mama in St Kilda is good for large groups and has a nice atmosphere. They do a medium sized bowl of rice + 4 buffet serves for $15 or a large one with 5 buffet serves for $17.
It anyone has any other suggestion please feel free to post your comments!

Where to look for a job!
Filed Under Jobs, Melbourne, Recruitment Agencies, Recruitment Agencies | Leave a Comment
When I first arrived in Melbourne I was frantically looking for a job. I thought it would be difficult but it turned out to be fairly easy. I managed to get my first interview 3 days after arriving! Most of the places I looked at were online. Here is a list of some of the website I found particularly helpful:
Gumtree.com, www.microdec-profile.com, www.recruitmentsolutions.com.au, www.mycareer.com.au, www.mclabour.com.au, www.webwombat.com.au, www.pickingjobs.com, www.seek.com.au, www.rjcornish.com, www.juicygrapebackpackers.com.au
Hope this is helpful to you all!
Awesome Winston!, and if you are just hanging around for a few weeks I have found that surf and cycling stores are usually quite willing to employ people in very short term possitions.
